Mounting in a Face-Frame Cabinet 1. Separate the parts of the slides that mount in the cabinet (the “cabinet members”) from the parts that attach to the drawer (the “drawer members”), taking care to keep track of which side they go on. (These slides are “handed” slides, meaning that there are specific components for the left side and specific components for the right.).

2. Determine how you will secure the back of the cabinet member – either with spacer blocks attached to the cabinet side or mounting brackets screwed to the cabinet back (71647, sold separately). If you are using mounting brackets, slip each onto its matching cabinet member now. (The brackets are “handed,” too.)

3. Position the left cabinet member in the cabinet, resting the front on the face frame and setting the front edge back 1/16". We recommend Universal Drawer Slide Jig (57302, sold separately) for easy, accurate positioning of slides.

4. Use a small level to make sure the slide is straight and then drill a pilot hole and drive one of the included screws to secure the front of the slide.

5. Measure the distance from the cabinet member to the inside face of the cabinet side at the front. For the slides to work correctly, you will need to make sure that this distance is the same at the back so that the slide is square to the face frame. If it’s not square, the drawer won’t work properly. (If you’re using the Universal Drawer Slide Jig, the jig should hold the slide in correct position, but measure to be sure.)

6. If you are using rear mounting brackets: maintain the correct distance at the side (to keep the slide square to the front) and verify that the slide is level; then use one of the horizontal slots in the bracket as a guide to drill a pilot hole in the cabinet back and drive one of the mounting screws that came with the rear brackets. (Using the horizontal slot allows side-to-side adjustments once you’ve test-fit the drawer.) You will install the rest of the screws after you have test-fitted the drawer.

If you are using a spacer block: make sure its thickness is equal to the distance from Step 5 and attach the block to the cabinet side with screws. Then attach the cabinet member to the spacer block with one of the slide mounting screws toward the back. Again, make sure the slide is level.

7. Drill a pilot hole and drive a screw in the round hole at the top of the flange at the front end of the cabinet member.

8. If using a spacer block that runs the length of the slide, drill a pilot hole and drive at least one additional mounting screw in the center of the slide. (Depending on the length of your slides, you might want to install additional screws.)

9. Repeat Steps 3-8 to install the right side cabinet member.

10. If you’re using rear mounting brackets: Once you’ve installed the drawer members and test-fit the drawer, remove the drawer, make any side-to-side adjustments and drive the remaining screws to secure the mounting brackets to the back of the cabinet.

Mounting in a Frameless Cabinet 1. Separate the slide cabinet members from the drawer members, taking care to keep track of which side they go on. (These slides are “handed” slides, meaning that there are specific components for the left side and specific components for the right.)

Universal Drawer Slide Jig (57302, sold separately) makes it much easier to hold slide cabinet members in position for mounting. If using this jig, you will want to mark the location where you want the bottom of the slide – NOT the screw holes – to be, and you will want to make this mark on the front edge of the cabinet side.

2. Determine the desired mounting location in the cabinet, taking into account the height of the drawer and drawer front. On the inside of the cabinet, mark a level line from front to back where you want the screw holes to align. Be sure to make this mark at exactly the same height on both sides of the cabinet.

3. Holding the left cabinet member up to the mark, use a small level to make sure it is straight and then drill a pilot hole and drive one of the included screws to secure the front of the slide. 4. Using the level to make sure the cabinet member remains straight, drill a pilot hole and drive a screw toward the back of the slide.

5. Drill a pilot hole and drive a screw in the round hole at the top of the flange at the front end of the cabinet member.

6. Drill a pilot hole and drive at least one additional mounting screw in the center of the slide. (Depending on the length of your slides, you might want to install additional screws.)

7. Repeat Steps 3-6 to install the right cabinet member.

Installing the Drawer Members 1. Position the drawer on its right side.

2. Place the left drawer member on the left side of the drawer so that the roller is at the back and the “L” shape fits over the bottom edge of the drawer side. Set the front of the cabinet member back about 1/16" from the front of the drawer. Fig. 1.

3. Drill pilot holes and drive four of the included screws to attach the drawer member to the drawer: two in the sides (one toward the front, one toward the back) and two in the bottom edge of the drawer side.

4. Position the drawer on its left side and repeat Steps 2-3 to attach the right drawer member to the drawer.

Install the Drawer in the Cabinet 1. Slide the drawer in the cabinet, engaging the drawer members with the cabinet members, to test the fit. Fig. 2.

2. If necessary, remove the drawer and make adjustments to achieve a proper fit.

3. If using rear mounting brackets in a face-frame application: remove the drawer after final fitting and install remaining screws in the bracket.
